LOS ANGELES, CA, Aug 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- Adenna Inc.'s Phantom(R) Latex and Shadow(R) Nitrile black color exam gloves are becoming the favorite gloves of law enforcement, correctional facility, homeland security, border control, DEA, and postal personnel, and they allow quick identification of unsafe light-colored substances, such as drugs. Phantom(R) Latex exam gloves have the lowest allowable protein claim by the FDA to minimize rubber latex sensitivity. The fully textured surface provides an excellent grip, and the smooth interior finish provides easy donning and comfortable wear. If you are sensitive to rubber latex, Shadow(R) Nitrile exam gloves are made for you. They are made of synthetic material, and are latex free and powder free. Through proprietary technology, Shadow(R) nitrile gloves are made softer, more flexible and stretchier than other nitrile gloves for comfortable wear. They also offer excellent puncture and chemical resistance. "Buyers beware! Watch out for some black color gloves on the market today that are not medical grade or exam grade. These gloves are so called 'B-grade' or industrial grade and they are not suitable for certain applications in law enforcement or correctional facilities. They are in fact exam grade rejects. They do not pass quality control or are products that failed the FDA and ASTM's standard for healthcare uses," says Kevin Toshima, Business Development Manager of Adenna Inc. Exam gloves provide barrier protection against bloodborne and other infectious pathogens. When coming in contact with blood, body fluids, or hazardous material, it is critical that you wear "medical grade" exam gloves. The FDA only allows medical grade exam gloves to be labeled with the word "EXAM" on the packaging. Both Phantom(R) and Shadow(R) gloves are exam grade and are made with the most stringent quality control meeting or exceeding the FDA and ASTM standards. These gloves are packaged 100 pieces per box by weight, and they are available through authorized safety supply and healthcare supply distributors, including Henry Schein and Patterson Dental Supply.

Automotive Industry encouraged to use Nitrile Gloves

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:36:14 +0000

Use of Nitrile Gloves is quickly becoming the preferred standard in the Automotive Industry. While not all Automotive technicians are wearing gloves the ones who are, are choosing Nitrile.

In an article the EPA issued, “Choosing The Right Gloves For Painting Cars” they recommended Nitrile gloves because of their durability and strength. They have been shown to provide a better barrier to paints and organic solvents which are the chemicals that are toughest on gloves. Price alone should not be the deciding factor in your glove selection, the application should.

Today there are many choices with in selecting a Nitrile Glove, depending on the application. Two of the most common are the Ultra thin with finger tips textures and a Thick Nitrile with full texture for stronger chemical applications. The more texture a glove has the more the technician will be able to grip with the glove, with fully textured providing the most non-slip grip and control. The Ultra thin are more comparable to the feel of Latex with the Thicker providing more protection. When reviewing both the Ultra Thin and the Thicker/Heavy Nitrile, they are both very flexible, soft, and comfortable to wear while still providing superior protection and durability.

Even with the recommendation that professionals in the Automotive industry use Nitrile gloves understand that Nitrile will not provide protection for all chemicals. Use caution when determining whether Nitrile is appropriate and, if in doubt, check with your manufacturer or distributor.

  LOS ANGELES, CA, May 13 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Adenna Inc.'s Phantom(R) Latex and Shadow(R) Nitrile black color exam
gloves have become the favorite gloves of tattoo, piercing and body
artists. They are the gloves of choice used by celebrity tattoo artists
as seen on popular TV shows.

    Phantom(R) Latex exam gloves have the lowest allowable protein claim by
the FDA to minimize rubber latex sensitivity. The fully textured surface
provides an excellent grip onto instruments, and the smooth interior
finish provides easy donning and comfortable wear.

    If you are sensitive to rubber latex, Shadow(R) Nitrile exam gloves are
made for you. They are made of synthetic material, and are latex free and
powder free. Through proprietary technology, Shadow(R) Nitrile gloves are
made softer, more flexible and stretchy than other nitrile gloves for
comfortable wear. They also offer excellent chemical resistance and
barrier protection.

use. They are in fact exam grade rejects. They do not pass quality control
or are products that failed the FDA and ASTM's standard for healthcare
uses," says Kevin Toshima, Business Development Manager of Adenna, Inc.

    Exam gloves provide barrier protection for both the artists and the
patrons. Therefore, it is critical that "medical grade" exam gloves are
worn when performing tattooing or piercing procedures. The FDA only allows

packaging. Both Phantom(R) and Shadow(R) gloves are exam grade and are
